We know they ain't wasting money on Christmas presents. Foreign devils.
Exactly, how thoughtless. Terrible timing. Just like the Cuban missile spat was.
Why couldn't it all kick off in January like the first gulf war did? That way we get crimbo out of the way and January then becomes a tad more interesting than normal. 2012s been a smashing year, what with the golden jubilee. Olympics, Savile...and now this kind of takes the shine off for me.
I always thought the Falklands War, being in early April, bridged that odd period, between early spring and early summer nicely. That year it led us beautifully into the World Cup finals in Spain too.
That was Thatcher for you though I guess.
Logistically, this is shocking.
